Cleaning and Special Maintenance
The filter assembly
If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher, you need to clean the filter assembly.
The food particles are removed from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle, filtered perfectly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped inside the cup “C” and the
filter A after each wash; pull the cup handle upwards to | |||
remove them. Just rinse them under running water. |

The entire filter assembly |

Reassemble the filter parts (as shown in the figure) and reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position it into its housing and press downwards.
The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the wash and even damage your dishwasher.
Cleaning the Sprayer Arms
It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block the holes. Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed (see

Error messages.
Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies are reported by
one or two wash cycle indicator lights "C" flashing rapidly.
Take a note of which lights are flashing, turn the appliance off and call for technical assistance.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance will remind you of this by sounding a few short beeps for a few minutes. Turn the tap on and your appliance will start up again after a few minutes. Were you to be absent when these beeps are sounded, the appliance will be blocked automatically and indicator lights 2 and 3 (Normal and Soak) will flash rapidly. Turn the appliance off at the
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and indicator lights 1 (Intensive) and 3 (Soak) flash rapidly, this means the filter is clogged by large particles of food residue. Turn the appliance off, clean the filter thoroughly and reposition it in its seat as illustrated on this page. Then turn it back on. Repeat the programming operations and the selected wash cycle will start up again.
Water load solenoid valve malfunction alarm.
If indicator light 2 (normal wash) flashes rapidly, TURN the dishwasher OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN after one minute. If the alarm persists, first turn off the water tap to avoid any flooding and then cut off the electricity supply and call for technical assistance.
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised service centre and provide them with the following information:
-the nature of the problem;
-the model type number (Mod. ...) and the serial number (S/N ....), which are indicated on the plate located on the side of the inner part of the door.
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.
